Chapter 54 Calm before the storm
One hundred-five days passed outside and a hundred-five years passed for Deva since she first entered the dungeon.
Four certain girls became more powerful than before but also colder and more ruthless as days passed without Deva.
While Deva who finally passed to the sixth scenario, remained sitting in the floor in a lotus position,
She still has to calm and to reorganize the emotions, raging inside her body.
Meditating and meditating, this is what she did to not lose herself in the raging sea of emotions swirling inside her heart.
The process was not done overnight, but slowly and gradually, in these thirty-six thousand and five-hundred days a part of these days she passed on meditating and calming her emotions. But eating food, sleeping and interacting with the inhabitants of her dungeon also helped her in appeasing her chaotic emotions.
If before just the thought of one of the girls made her feel a mix and disjointed sea of emotions, now they can only slightly affect her, but she still has to meet them in order to see if these emotions that didn't belong to her can or cannot greatly affect her.
In these long years, she didn't change much in her demeanor or personality, she still is the overly calm yet a bit perveted Deva as before, the same woman who would nonchalantly plan the extinction of a race yet the same woman who cannot help but cover her face when she thoughts about kissing Velena, Ira, Edea or Theresa.
What made Deva even more happy is the notification of her level rising up to level sixty, not only this notified that the four girls were fine and healthy but also getting stronger on their own, meaning they are slowly becoming more indipendent, that is what the oblivious woman thought.
A thought where the last part not only is wrong but also the opposite, the girls are becoming more and more dependent and reliant regarding the presence of Deva . And the one to blame is Deva herself.
Other than this the dungeon fluorished in these past years, as the total population increased and the 'energy' gathered increased as time passed.
The energy gathered is enough to even create artifacts that rivaled the Cross of Roses, create thousands of sentient creature, add floors in the dungeon or even recreate the technology from Earth. And that is what Deva did, she increased the floors in the dungeon and recreated some of the technology of Earth.
Slowly the creatures developed their own knowledge and mastered their own subjects in different departments while living in a place that can be called by others as a paradise.
But they didn't care about that, all they want is to be useful to their mistress, and to do that they have to become more stronger and capable.

Feeling refreshed, I get up and started to walk towards a golden door.
From the inside I could hear a voice indentical to Core and recalled a similar tune that she sang long ago.
-Oh, they died and died,
-in the cold snow,
-bright lights in the sky,
-Gods and celestial beings,
-quakes coming from the earth,
-Devils and demonic beings,
-they who clashed for aeons,
-continued for aeons,
-...
Still the contents seems to be different and instead of evoking sadness this evokes grandeur and glory as if telling the story of an epic tale of gods and devils.
There was no further information about the so called sixth scenario, in my opinion this is the same as the last floor of a dungeon, the place where the core is located.
Preparing myself I opened the door and saw the same appearance of Core, however different to our expressionless woman of steel, this one is grinning and seemingly made of flesh.
[I, Tania, administrator of this dungeon or what common people call a guardian of a core or bearer of a core, greets the challenger and owner.]
"..."
[What it is? My mistress, do my lingerie not appease your desire and lust, should I have worn a leather one instead?]
"How-nevermind, you said owner, right?"
[Yes, indeed. But please, my mistress, let us talk more comfortably.]
*snap*
With that a table with various snacks and drinks appeared in the room.
"The chair...?"
Getting on all fours Tania shouted,[I am the chair!]
Sighing, I played along and sit on her back and started to open a bag of chips.
"Where were we?"
[Haah!Haaah! Mistress succedeed in all the scenarios I planned and developed, and specially already received this worthless' one approval.Mistress can do whatever she wants to this one's body and soul!*slaps*Hyaaa!]
I interrupted her by spanking her round and bouncy buttocks.
"*sigh* Are the likes of you so strange?"
[We are created like this and to behave like this, like your Core who behaves in a certain way, I too behave in a programmed way.]
"You mean this...?"
[Yes, I was programmed to be like a pervert and masochist woman, who will behave in a certain way around her owner.]
Meaning I will find weirdos in the last floors of every dungeon I enter?
"But in the third scenario, I didn't find someone that resebled you, just bosses..."
[Only S-grade dungeons or higher have a core bearer, and each dungeon offers different privileges to those who were able to conquer them.Lastly only A-grade or higher grades dungeons can be owned hence the reason mistress wasn't able to own the dungeons in that scenario was because those were low-grade dungeons.]
"Are there grades higher than S-grade?"
[Yes, other than S-grade, there is SS-grade, SSS-grade, EX-graze and lastly L-grade dungeons while the lowest is F-grade.]
I shoved a chip in my mouth and took a sip of tea.
"But is there a difference between the Tower of trials to this dungeon, don't they give the same thing?"
[That is a misunderstanding, while dungeons give to the owner the power to create everthing as long as there is 'energy', they can only grant the power to create simple object or mindless creatures. Your Tower of trials is specialized in 'Creation' which as long as Core knows the name of something, then mistress is able to create everything she wants, obviously the more powerful, intelligent,complex or bigger the object or creature is, the higher the cost.]
"Tell me about this dungeon,I am extremely curious about yours."
[If mistress gives me-]
"Shut it or I'll shove these snacks inside you."
[Haah!O-okay but please be gentle...Haah!Okay!Okay!I'll talk so please stoop!]
"..."
[*A-ahem* This one is called Cabin of scenarios, different from its name, its speciality is 'Teleportation' which as long as I know the coordinates of a location,I can transport the dungeon in that location, unfortunately only the owner can enter, so your girlfriends might not be able to go with yo- *smack* Haaiii!]
"Hpmh,impudent."
[Haaah!This one asks forgiveness.]
"One last thing, before Core wasn't able to tell these informations when I asked her, do you perhaps know something?"
[Yes, one can ask information as long as their rank as an owner is equivalent of the value of the information. One's rank is determined in the dungeon's quality and quantity they own. As for mistress her rank is level-2, and in order to proceed in the level-3 you need to either conquer and own a SS-grade dungeon or own five S-grade dungeon.]
"This is enough for now, I want to leave this place and meet them."
